4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT! VERY SIMILAR TO TAE BO BUT BETTER!, July 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Power Kickboxing Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a teenager who is very active and in good shape, but after doing both workouts I did work up a good sweat. Denise Austin is much more encouraging in her videos than Billy Blanks, and has put together a better/less expensive video that offers a variety so that beginners and advanced can benefit. The only problem I have is that the length of the tape is shorter than Id hope-the workouts themselves are actually a little less than twenty minutes because of stretching and cool downs, but if you do both in sequence, the workout you obtain is a reasonable 35 minutes ( meaning 35 minutes that your heart rate is up). If you already own Tae Bo Basics, I wouldnt suggest purchasing this tape because many of the moves are almost identical to Billy Blanks....but I definately think that this tape is better and more effective-so if you are making the choice between the two, Id choose this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is this the missing Intermediate Tae-Bo tape?, July 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Denise Austin - Power Kickboxing [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am a fitness video junkie so I have lots of tapes, even several kickboxing tapes that you would think would be all the same, but they aren't. Although I find Denise Austin kind of annoying, I own a lot of her tapes because she does give me a good workout. When I bought this tape I also bought Tae-bo Basic and Tae-bo Advanced. While I enjoy Tae-bo Basic, and it really works my muscles, I feel that Power Kickboxing gives me a better aerobic workout. There are two workouts on this tape. I thought the first one, which is called "Skills" would be very easy since I did Tae-bo several weeks before I started this. Boy, was I surprise to discover it wasn't really that easy and it worked my body in a completely different way. After I got good at both "Skills" and Tae-bo Basic I decided to move up to the next level. I did Tae-bo Advanced first. There is a HUGE jump in skill levels between the basic and advanced tape. I couldn't keep up at all and actually twisted my knee. After I recovered, I went back to Denise and tried "Drills." This was just perfect for me. It was just hard enough that I felt challenged, but I could still get through it. So, while I still enjoy Tae-Bo Basic and consider it a good toning and sculping workout, I prefer Power Kickboxing for it's challenging but do-able aerobic effects. And you get used to all that perkiness eventually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Energizing, Fun & Easy To Follow, October 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Power Kickboxing Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Denise Austin is motivating, fun, and encouraging. This video is a terrific workout. It leaves me feeling confident and stronger everytime. It is easy-to-follow and the more you workout with the video, the more effective the exercises become--you can really feel the burn on your body. Denise Austin works you into the video at a great pace--the first 20 minutes are basic, but at the same time very challenging. She then moves you into the "Drills" section which is the best part. Overall, this is a workout you don't want to miss!

I originally checked this video out at the library, but because I love it so much, I've decided to buy it.
